I RARELY pull the race card, and this is going to sound VERY wewhite3 of me, but if this guy were white, would you call him a thug?

I've just noticed that over the years and just wanted to bring it up today.

Interesting point. I think 'thug' is relegated to African-American athletes in general. Honestly, and I'm speaking for myself, I generally never speak of white athletes in those terms. And from what I've read here from other members, white athletes are generally considered, stupid, moron, idiot, a..hole, knucklehead, but rarely thug.
